After the referendum in March 2014 Crimea has unilaterally separated from Ukraine and joins Russia. At the same time in Donetsk and Lugansk armed conflict began. Ukraine has accused Russia for annexing the Crimea and that its armed formations actively fighting on the side of pro-Russian separatist in eastern Ukraine. Russian and Ukraine relations decrease in the last period. This tendency causes numerous problems and underlines the existing differences and attitudes.
